Happy Anniversaries!!
I am home, after my flight was 2 hours delayed. At least it was a short flight mid-day, so I wasn't totally bugging out. Also, at 1:15 (for the 11:45 flight), they said the next update would be at 2, but then at 1:30 they hustled us on to the plane! So that felt like exceeding expectations or something, at least....
Oh, also, I didn't click through to that site, but I'm 95% sure I'm the only person alive with my name. (Past Googling has turned up some from Olden Days, all men.)
Happy Anniversaries!
A pretzel sounds really good.
There's a Henson exhibit at the Smithsonian? Awesome. Will it still be there in mid-September? (I have a 2-day work thing in DC in mid-September...)
My aunt knows a guy around my age who recently relocated to Chicago and doesn't know anyone. She wants me to meet him, introduce him to people, and show him around Chicago.
It's definitely not a blind date, and if I were a normal person, I think this would be a perfectly reasonable request.
I have no idea where I would take this guy, and most of my friends are just as bizarre as I am.
I don't know if your family and misc people are like mine, shrift, but I always say OK to those requests, and I never actually hear from the person. So it might be OK.
Oh, once in the past nine years did I have to entertain a new New Yorker. We had brunch or something. It was fine.
Sings happy anniversary song to the Miracleborns.
I always say OK to those requests, and I never actually hear from the person.
I don't think I'm that lucky.
Maybe I'll tell my aunt that she can pass along my e-mail address to see if we have anything remotely in common. I shouldn't automatically assume he won't be cool!
Totally.
And you can totally suggest a touristy-Chicago thing to do that shows some city history or how to get around or something. A friend of mine always did the tourist-tours whenever she moved to a new area.
Sorry you had to wait so long at the airport, Jesse! Had I carried my cell.... Didn't even have any interesting weather until a little while ago, too. Finally cooled down. Of course, I was running around when it was still sweltering.
Half a pita and hummus, a handful of cherry tomatoes and a small avocado is dinner, right?
I got a lot done today. All that's really left that needs to be done this weekend is a manicure. Which I think I'll do shortly
